Nice chart, The7. I took the trade. I love setups on the higher tfs.

I appreciate everyone's contributions to the discussion on drawdown and entries. I like Ceeb's take and I've seen this technique before. I'm like Bez i don't have time for it so I'm going to go with the strict method for now as best I can.

Dean, thanks for posting a reply. At least I'm not the only one seeing this! I've been working on this system for a couple of months and at the start I had very bad results, mostly because of this problem. I got discouraged and quit for a few weeks, ...

Drifter, you are absolutely right and I am actually doing that. I calculate a 2.2-5% risk for the pips to the swing. But if it's a big swing for a big SL, you need a big move for risk/reward to exceed 1:1. The goal is to get pips, but the real goal ...

Bez, Nice job, keep up the great trades! I'm also trading demo like you on H4 charts and I'm now looking across all those pairs you are watching, and checking your 5 rules before I enter a trade - thanks for sharing that! I've had a few successful ...

Hi, Rcwso. I was a little confused about entry points when I first started reading this thread and Dean answered it for me. One point to keep in mind is that entries are supposed to be at the open of the candle. I've seen Big E repeat this several ...

Yesterday morning in post 6302 I took the two trades gio.kele took: short usdcad and long eurchf. Before I went to bed last night I decided I set SL on uc at +15 and got stopped out overnight. That was an ok outcome but it was down 27 pips at one ...

Bez, now you have my curiosity and I have to ask you if you don't mind would you share which 21 pairs? I'm just trying to start with something that is obviously working for you, rather than test them all one by one myself. I appreciate all the info ...

I'm in the US in EST. I'm already getting up at 4am to check 4X before going to work 8-5. If I can ever go fulltime trading this may turn into a night shift job! But if you get a 300+ pip day every now and then it would be worth it! Haha! You also ...

Wow, Bez, nice job! What time zone are you in?

I took them, too. I put SL at the swing high on usdcad and hung on, biting my nails, to around -27 pips. But that's how the rules work so I stuck to them. But I'm getting better at MM - at 27 pips my risk is only 1.5%. I'm planning to try to hang on ...

Short UC, Long EC — Thanks for posting those charts, gio.kele. I never look at EC pair but this setup looks good and I bought it. I also like that it's at the bottom of a bearish channel and likely to bounce up. I already took the UC short ...

Big E - You are in my daily prayers. Get well and back to good health! And I see you are watching this thread right now. Go back to bed, it's like 3am your time! You need your rest! Well, I guess I wouldn't either.

Bummer! Well that's another reason you have to read the whole thread! Thanks, Gerald.

Can't edit old post — There was no edit button on my older posts. Anyone know if it's possible to edit them? I feel it's very important. I feel like I'm misrepresenting this system.

Test results were NOT VALID! — Ok, I've tested that new version of the TDI that Xaphod provided. If you run it in the sim you get the same exact chart as scrolling back through your live chart. That's one problem solved! Thank you Xaphod! But ...
